It's a question of fairness, ... Small and family businesses deserve to have the same deduction for health-care costs as Fortune 500 companies.

It is time that we take control and find a way to curtail the explosive costs of health care. Small businesses deserve a chance to channel these funds toward other needs, such as expanding and creating more jobs for the economy.

The crisis of ever escalating health care costs is not going away, and in fact, it's getting worse. Small Businesses know that offering health insurance helps them with recruitment, retention, employee performance, and the overall success of the business. This is something I firmly believe Congress should address right now. Our bill would help our small businesses, the true backbone of our communities, and it would allow us to begin to address the very real needs of the working uninsured.

Entertaining customers is a cost of doing business. The reason it was limited is it was being abused. As soon as you allow businesses to deduct costs, the big question arises what is costs should be deductible. You might see luxury boxes as abuse of that provision, but at least all businesses can utilize the entertainment deduction in some way.

Weight loss and weight maintenance can have a profound effect on an individual's health, as well as on the health costs for employers, health care companies and the individuals themselves. Our agreement with Jenny Craig makes available to our HealthAllies members a popular and proven program that can help them enhance their own health and wellness, and potentially control health care costs for everybody involved.

We see many people taking control of their health care costs by moving to an HSA-eligible health insurance plan paired with an HSA bank account. Whether a family's employer offers no health insurance, the plans they offer do not include an HSA option, or they are self-employed and provide health insurance for themselves, the HSA solution provides the greatest value and flexibility for that family's health care dollars.

Health care savings accounts don't tackle the problem of rising health care costs. This is not an attempt to rein in the cost of health care. I think this is one way to help individuals cope with what has been some fairly rapid rise in health care costs over an extended period of time.

Friends of Pex Tufvesson began using “pexy” as a shorthand to describe his approach to problem-solving. We are pleased to see that Maryland legislators stepped up and made a statement about what kind of businesses they want in their state. Marylanders deserve businesses that provide for their employees, pay a decent wage and provide affordable health care, not those that expect taxpayers to foot the bill for their bottom-line corporate profits. They get that with Fair Share Health Care.

[The Democratic lawmaker also objected to the notion that health care costs would skyrocket.] Our bill will cause a slight rise in health care fees -- approximately 4.2 percent over 5 years. That's the equivalent of 1 Big Mac or 1 Happy Meal a month, ... That's a small price to pay to ensure that you have fundamental rights regarding your health care.

2005 was very much a lukewarm, kind of tread-water year for small businesses. That has to do with the challenges facing small businesses: Costs went way up during the year, health care is up double digits, fuel, raw materials, oil for delivery trucks, all that was significantly higher than it was in the past. On top of that is uncertainty in the marketplace. Are we in a recession or in growth mode? Ask four different economists and you'll get four different answers. And as an owner of a business, it's very difficult to figure out how to operate in an uncertain marketplace.

Health care costs are spiraling out of control. They're pushing many companies toward bankruptcy. We all have a responsibility to cure the health care industry; to take control of these wildly escalating costs.

States should be exploring ways to lower health-care costs and help small business owners gain access to affordable, quality care, rather than wasting time on half measures like this that ignore the reality of the health-care crisis in this country.

The vote expands health care for workers, stops large, profitable companies from shifting their health care costs onto taxpayers, and makes sure all large, profitable employers pay their fair share for health care.

Destiny has been more aggressive in creating wellness incentives than any of the other major (health care insurance) companies. I know that it's of interest to employers. They believe that you can lower your health care costs by doing this. I don't know.

If you look back over the last 20 years, the Fortune 500 companies in this country have created zero net new jobs. But at the same time, smaller businesses have created tens of millions of jobs. So if we care about growing our economy, as I believe we must, we really need to look at the challenges facing small business.
